About our bath resealing in Melbury Sampford

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and damp near the bath.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How the visit works

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common problems we fix in Melbury Sampford

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Stained silicone
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again

Melbury Sampford: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Melbury Sampford?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
